Background
PLN was responsible for building the two-unit coal-fired Pekanbaru Tenayan power plant, with a total planned capacity of 220 MW, in Riau Province.[1] Land acquisition was a serious problem for the project, and delayed construction significantly, as well as delaying the plant's operation while land acquisition was completed to build transmission towers.[2][3]
As of January 2015, the plant was 90% complete, and was scheduled to come online in June 2015.[4] On April 16, a 14-member group known as Commission VII of Parliament and a group led by Ir. H. Mulyadi held a Specification Working Visit to the project to make inquiries about the delay of the plant. According to a report on the meeting, Director of PLN LJB Amir said that the main obstacle to the plant operating is that transmission capabilities are still not complete. Another cause of delay was the peat soil at the construction site. According to Amir, the first unit of 100 MW could be operational in December 2015 if transmission issues were resolved.[5]
Unit 2 was scheduled for completion in June 2016.[6]
Unit 1 began commercial operation on December 8, 2016. Unit 2 was scheduled to begin operation in March 2017 but ultimately came online in September 2017.[7][8]
As of August 2022, the power station reportedly supplied 70% of Pekanbaru's energy needs and 30% of Riau Province's energy needs overall.[9]
In December 2023, PLN announced a "Socio Tropical Agriculture-waste Biomass" program at the COP28 conference in Dubai. A first priority would be developing the program on Riau Island, in order to supply biomass for co-firing at Pekanbaru Tenayan power station.[10] The power station had reportedly trialed co-firing palm oil shells and sawdust between 2019 and 2022.[11]
Financing
The 2 x 110 MW project reportedly cost Rp2.65 trillion.[7]
In 2009, the Export-Import Bank of China agreed to provide a loan of US$124 million to the project.[12]
Environmental Impact
In December 2020, local residents feared that the Pekanbaru Tenayan power station was polluting the Siak River, which PLN used for transporting coal to the facility. Residents had repeatedly seen coal falling off of the coal transport barges and floating downriver. Because the power station was responsible for cleaning up its own coal spills, residents believed the company was more concerned with covering its trail than ensuring the river remained clean.[13]
In August 2023, concerns over pollution of the Siak River remained. Local fishermen were reportedly losing their livelihoods because of Pekanbaru Tenayan power station's impact on the waterway.[14]
In February 2024, a community action was held in Pekanbaru, focused on the power station's impact on the Siak River.[15]
